Livelihood

Creating Employment Opportunities

The Company’s vision of Fueling lives through Energy is followed through on several levels of business operations one of which is to ensure the growth of the economy through employment creation, especially of the localities in which the HUBCO’s plants are situated. Hence, the Company’s business partners and contractors are encouraged to hire local population. In line with this aim, the Company runs various successful programs to help improve the skills of the workers in those areas.

To enhance skill development of the local Baloch youth, the Company and its joint-venture partner China Power Hub Generation Company selected and sent a batch of Engineers and Technical Training Diploma holders to attend vocational training program in China in the coal power technology.

The program included extensive learning about thermal equipment, coal power plants and safety techniques. The trainees also engaged in the Chinese cultural games, competitions and several other entertaining activities. After the completion of this training program, the batch has been inducted at the CPHGC Plant, Hub.

Empowering Women

HUBCO has established Women Vocational Training Centers in both Hub and Narowal. At the center, trainees are taught tailoring, embroidery, and entrepreneurship skills. These centers also take work orders, including stitching of TCF school uniforms, a contract for which has been secured for the next batch of TCF uniforms to be stitched by the center trainees

To help facilitate the women as best as possible, a free pick and drop service is also provided to the trainees.

Apprenticeship Programs

To further help create employment opportunities, a regular two-year apprenticeship training program is maintained at the Hub plant and has so far produced 224 graduates from the local Baluchistan community. Students are trained in the fields of Electrical, Mechanical, Electronics, HVAC, and Operations. Among the graduates, there is an 80% employment success rate, and the program graduates are employed globally.

Similarly, NEL holds a TEVTA-approved apprenticeship program to create opportunities in the fields of Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Plant operations, Civil and HVAC. Upon completion of the program, the graduates are employed at various reputable organizations, including HUBCO.

The Laraib Energy Limited has also remained committed to sponsoring courses taught at Mirpur Institute of Technology. Over the years LEL has sponsored several TEVTA approved courses at MIT for the local youth.
